MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed his report and recommendation on January 28, 2016,
recommending dismissal of petitioner’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for habeas corpus
relief. (Doc. 11). Petitioner requested and received an extension of time in which to
file objections. (Docs. 10, 11). He thereafter retained an attorney, who also sought
an extension of time to file objections, which was granted. (Docs. 15, 16). On March
22, 2016, petitioner filed objections through counsel. Having carefully considered de
novo all the materials in the court file, including the report and recommendation and
the objections, the court is of the opinion that the magistrate judge’s report is due to
be ADOPTED and the recommendation ACCEPTED. A separate order will be entered
denying the petition and dismissing all claims.
DONE this 9th day of May, 2016.
